Hello ... and welcome everyone to our brand new WAXEN WARES CANDLES website, www.WaxenWares.com

Waxen Wares Candles & Creator Steve Replogle:
My candle story begins in the 1960's when I was about nine. My mom was melting paraffin wax on the stove to seal jelly jars and I arrived with a piece of string to dip into the wax. I don't think that she let me, but always happy to encourage my interests, I was soon set up in the basement with a double boiler, boxes of paraffin and our old crayon collection for color.

I spent many, many hours over the next few years passionately filling Dixie cups and all variety of containers with wax and dipping tapers on racks - which I sold when I could and gave away as gifts.

Given this history, I felt a sense of destiny when at age 20 I met up with the people who had developed the candle sculpting technique I've now been using ever since.

The sculpting process begins by dipping layers of colored wax from my ten tank wax melter. After what I call "lunks" and "sheets" of wax are dipped, I keep them softened in a hot water tank beside my candle bench. I work the softened wax in front of a heat lamp using a few simple tools. When finished the candle is put into a cool water tank.

Each candle is unique in expression and shows signs of the sculpting process. Up to 130 layers within each candle gives it more strength than a poured candle, but of course it's wax and care should be taken in handling! Keep the candles out of reach of the sun and in rooms below 100 degrees ... and out of the reach of cats!

For nearly 3 decades I have sold my candles almost exclusively in my booth at the Michigan Renaissance Festival and even though that is now over you can still buy these wonderful items here today!

In recent years there has been a growing chorus for a website where my candles may be purchased year-round. Through the auspices of longtime patron, supporter and web wizard, Russell Trunk and his website www.ExclusiveMagazine.com, this dream of mine is now coming to fruition. I will be adding more wares to the site as we navigate our way so stay focused.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
Sincerely,

Steve

INSURANCE INFORMATION

As we fully recommend you adding Insurance to your purchases for their journey, please know that to insure any item for $50 would just be an additional fee of $1.65. Anything over that the USPS fee obviously increase, but not by much.

IMPORTANT FACTS

Please note that ALL shipments are packaged expertly in tightly-secured boxes containing popcorn, newspaper and bubble wrap.
Each and every mailed box will come with a FREE Delivery Confirmation Sticker attached.
If you purchase one of these items from us and will not be at home to receive it, please notify your local Post Office that all incoming packages should be held with them for this delivery period of time.
Yes, you can buy multiple items and have them shipped either in the same (larger) box or in separate boxes therein. But, please know that shipping them all separately means individual S/H charges, where as shipping them in the one larger box would be just the one (although increased from the singular norm) set price.
We recommend that Insurance is taken out on your purchase as these are, after all, hand-sculpted wax candles! [See Insurance prices above.]
